Penn St broke out the Wing T and it got them a TD

I wish we saw more of this, absolutely awesome legacy formation but it's also effective. Old time offenses used to be based largely on misdirection, I think some of these old formations could still be pretty effective in short yardage situations and generally inside the 10 if you can successfully confuse the defense on where the ball actually went. By the time they figure it out it'll be too late, and running formations a defense hasn't defended since high school (if ever) at the latest is sure to already have them a bit startled. The Chiefs break out vintage plays like this from time to time as well.

Yeah, it would be nice to see more teams break out those old formations and plays. These days it seems everyone wants the spread/air raid and read option stuff only.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
